ABOUT THE 2007 BMW 750LI
The 2007 BMW 750Li is the long-wheelbase V8 version of the facelifted E66 7 Series. It uses the 4.8-litre N62 V8 rated at 360 hp and 360 lb-ft, driving the rear wheels through a six-speed automatic. A standard-wheelbase 750i was also offered.
Mid-cycle model
2007 was the second year of the updated 7 Series, which arrived for 2006 with a new front-end design, revised rear styling and the larger 4.8-litre V8 in place of the previous 4.4. This car therefore carries the improved electronics and refined look of the later E65/E66 models without significant changes from the year before.
Rear-seat focus
The “L” version adds length between the axles, almost all of which benefits rear passengers. Many examples were specified with rear sunshades, comfort seats and premium audio. Rear self-levelling air suspension helps keep the ride composed, and the V8 provides relaxed, quiet progress.
Ownership considerations
The 4.8-litre N62 is known for valve-stem seal wear, coolant transfer pipe leaks in the valley of the engine and alternator bracket gasket leaks. Electrical issues, soft-close door actuators and air suspension components are other commonly reported cost items. A pre-purchase inspection by a BMW specialist is strongly advisable.
Rivals
In 2007 the 750Li faced the all-new Mercedes-Benz S550, the Audi A8 L and the newly launched Lexus LS 460.
